Troubble with sony ereaders, my pals who own sony readers themselves, tell me is that they are rather expensive. At the present time the base model kindle happends to be the cheapest on the market at $80 followed closely by the Kobo, Kobo Touch and Nook readers at aproximatly $100. Troubble is that kindle does not support PDF as yet, the cheapest for that is one of the Kobos or Nooks which cost more but support PDF. The other alternative is to get calibre and translate your PDF library into mobi format, calibre is free.
